sfGnome Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 Does anyone know whether there will be any mogas available? I can't find anything on the site apart from the avgas tanker. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
old man emu Posted September 11, 2012 Share Posted September 11, 2012 The field is not far from town. Someone will give you a lift. I'll be there with a car on Friday & Saturday. OME Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
RobynD39 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Bob and I were looking forward to going in our RV9 but I have to get one of those pesky sun spots cut off my face on Friday. One of the curses of being a redhead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
pilotdave69 Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Look forward to some vids and pics from Ausfly, i will certainly be taking some and add them here on return. Winds picking up tonight, hope all clear for fly Friday! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Sorry for the dumb follow-on question (using mogas is new for me), but is there likely to be jerry cans floating around? I don't think that we'll have room to bring any.

rankamateur Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 Thanks. Sorry for the dumb follow-on question (using mogas is new for me), but is there likely to be jerry cans floating around? I don't think that we'll have room to bring any. RAAus had jerry cans at Natfly in previous years , to borrow on deposit, XXXXX (Caltex-listen to local knowledge) is over the other side of town about $20(each way) in a taxi if you can't track old man emu down.

old man emu Posted September 12, 2012 Share Posted September 12, 2012 I don't mind doing a fuel run about 3:00pm on Friday & Saturday. I won't post my mobile number here, but will display it somewhere central. $20 in a taxi! Maybe a gold coin and a can of cold beverage per trip. I don't know it I can bring any empty drums, but I'll try.

jetjr Posted September 13, 2012 Share Posted September 13, 2012 Weather is cold mornings but beautiful days, wind 5kts to 11kts tonight Best time of year out here Im a local so if anyone needs help send email jwmr at bigpond.com.au Id be surprised if you could leave when airshow is on due to it being held directly over the field Inland Petroleum (was BP) is close to the field, carries 98, Caltex is only other option across town and does have Vortex. There are 2 avgas supplies there, the local bowser and truck too Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

djpacro Posted September 14, 2012 Share Posted September 14, 2012 Can't make it this weekend ... Sorry I couldn't bring you down in the Pitts but last weekend was a better option for me for other reasons. I would've happily given up my carry-on luggage allowance for you. The Pitts doesn't have the best visibility so I am wary about going into events like this with it - hard to see other traffic ahead and slightly below plus circuit speed doesn't fit with much of the traffic. (I've flown a Pitts into the Oshkosh Airshow twice with no worries as that was well controlled) 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
redozbris Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 Was a great couple of days, Managed the trip there in 11 hours and 10 1/2 hours on the way back, Was a great event, but I got some faulty information, we where told we couldnt go look at the flight line, after we where told at the breakfast that we could.. We didnt want to push anything, but besides that a Great time :) The Workshops where great! Next time will have to come with some questions!

rdarby Posted September 18, 2012 Share Posted September 18, 2012 We got back Sunday. It was a great time too. It was a total of 9.9 hours flying time, from Redcliffe to Inverell, to Narromine. Then that afternoon to Gilgandrah, then back on Sunday via Millmerran. My bum was numb and back hurt after that much flying in two day. The arrival was interesting, some people were doing straight in approaches, some were doing calls like 13 miles out and 20 miles out, some were not responding to requests for position. The poor unicom guy tried hard, but we were placed over the town orbitting at the same end of town and the same altitude as a Jab. And many planes ignored his calls. I liked that the museum hangar was open, and the trade displays. It was also a collection of great planes for sale by vendors. I enjoyed looking at them all, and got a good response from the dealers. I got a personal lesson on OzRunways from those guys, and now use far more of it. Made a massive impact to me. There were a lot of planes there, but I would have liked to have seen it open to the public, so that they could walk around the planes. And more for kids or wives to do. Not much entertainment besides looking at the airshow. It was a great airshow, only thing is that is stopped you leaving when you wanted to. Add to that a hassle in getting fuel as it took a while to wait for the fuel truck, and it was frustrating if you had to leave to go to your accomodation. What was nice was that you could talk to the pilots of the airshow planes, about anything really, they were a good bunch. I would have liked some seminars on the Saturday during the day, as they were all over by the time we arrived. In fact the whole place was closing up by Saturday 3pm. I can't get there during the week, but on the weekend less is happening. But all up it was a great weekend. The ending was the best. We arrived at Caboolture at about 5pm, and there were three women in bikini's. We thought we were starved of oxygen for a while, but it turned out there was some photo shoot with cars there. See you at the next one! Ryan Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
